While the Trans-Texas Corridor is the biggest problem, the push for toll roads in general is a big enough problem in Texas.
It's part of the GOP's ongoing process in this state of taxing people more and more all while hiding the taxes by calling them "service fees" and similar things. Toll roads in particular are also a mark of the disorganized fashion in which state government is run in Texas. If the Texas Department of Transportation were ever authorized for real multi-year budgeting, we wouldn't have any need for toll roads.
Well, that is, if the Lege would apply ALL of the gas tax to transportation.

A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
